Patients who have limited literacy skills, who have multiple comorbidities, and who are elderly face the greatest risk, and limited literacy skills are significantly associated with inadequate understanding and use of prescription instructions and precautions. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality notes that only 12 percent of U.S. adults have proficient health literacy that allows them to interpret a prescription label correctly. Given the importance of health literacy to the proper use of medications, and the apparent lack of progress in improving medication adherence, the Roundtable on Health Literacy formed an ad hoc committee to plan and conduct a 1-day public workshop that featured invited presentations and discussion of the role and challenges regarding clarity of communication on medication. Participants focused on using health literacy principles to address clarity of materials, decision aids, and other supportive tools and technologies regarding risks, benefits, alternatives, and health plan coverage. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop"--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aCommunication in medicine$vCongresses 606 $aMedication errors$vCongresses 606 $aMedical personnel and patient$vCongresses 607 $aWashington (D.C.) 615 0$aCommunication in medicine 615 0$aMedication errors 615 0$aMedical personnel and patient 676 $a610.285 702 $aAlper$b Joe 712 02$aNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Health Literacy, 712 02$aNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795588303321 996 $aCommunicating clearly about medicines$93747956 997 $aUNINA
